Yeah, I'm sure their first response to being criticized for their weight will be to run out and eat a salad.

It's not the kids' fault. It's parenting fail. And you don't improve someone's parenting methods by simply calling their kid fat and denying them candy in the middle of Halloween festivities.

I agree that it is the parents fault but, seeing the note in their kids bag instead of candy SHOULD be a wake up call to them. Instead, they try to portray this woman as some kind of monster for pointing out that their little blob is too fat and should be taught healthier eating habits.

Sadly trick or treating is likely the most exercise many fat kids get all year

Its none of her business. Period.
She should not have handed out any candy. Or, like a said, just given out a healthy alternative.

This isn't a ****ing Nanny State.

THIS. Some would call this relativism, but I don't care what eating habits someone else teaches their kids.

Let's start worrying more about ourselves than others folks. Get your own house in order before you start blasting everyone else's.

I'm sure smokers made the same argument and yet, non smokers forced their will upon them.

As long as taxpayers have to foot the bill for fat people when they become too fat and sick to work, it IS her business.

Well let's see, I'm 46 years old, have a very physical job where I outwork 20 somethings on a daily basis, have NO medical issues & take no meds. I may be carrying a few extra pounds but, I'm happy with where I'm at

Because this woman decides these kids are overweight, you are assuming they are heavy to the point of lifelong, crippling obesity. Not only has your point been refuted in this very thread about the cost to taxpayers of heavy people, it is still none of your ****ing business what is going on in the life of a child with weight problems. This presumptuous, awful woman is using Halloween as an excuse to be a bully. Again, as has been said, if she really gave a shit she'd give out healthy options.

Insulting a kid and his parents will do nothing to change their situation. Weight is often tied to self-esteem. Openly insulting these kids will not encourage a positive change. She will be dismissed as the terrible person she is and the kid will be embarrassed and hurt. I don't know why you have so much anger against overweight people and enjoy the idea of them being marginalized. Whatever the reason, it's pretty ****ed up.

Why so much hate? You are filled with hate. It's not healthy.

And, yeah, like the bag is not also going to have candy in it.

How do you get hate out of anything I said? Just because I agree with the woman that kids should be taught to eat healthier, it doesn't mean I hate fat kids. The letter may be over the top, but the premise is a good one
